Letter to the editor: 'Failure' headline problematic

Notes: "The headline 'Marriage vote failure ripples through church' (September 2019, p. 1) may appear to some to betray a lack of objectivity in reporting and arguable incites what is already an incendiary situation. It is far from neutral language to characterize the vote at General Synod as a 'failure'. Such language is unfair to both sides of this divisive issue as it gives the appearance of bias. The Anglican Journal should at least appear to report for all Anglicans, regardless of its writer's personal views. How this passed editorial consideration is confounding at best".
